Preoperative anterior commissure (AC) evaluation in glottic cancer is crucial for therapeutic decisions. Endoscopy is often inadequate to precisely detect the presence of cancer in the AC; thus, computed tomography (CT) scan could help. We investigated the relation between AC thickness on CT scan (in mm), AC involvement by cancer at histology, and radiologic signs of anterior paraglottic space (PGS) infiltration.

Abstract
Preoperative anterior commissure (AC) evaluation in glottic cancer is crucial for therapeutic decisions. Endoscopy is often inadequate to precisely detect the presence of cancer in the AC; thus, computed tomography (CT) scan could help. We investigated the relation between AC thickness on CT scan (in mm), AC involvement by cancer at histology, and radiologic signs of anterior paraglottic space (PGS) infiltration.File in questo prodotto:
